Traffic violations and overloaded vehicles highlight enforcement gaps

People: Strongly negative (-0.50) Outlets: Mostly neutral (+0.00)

Video of an overloaded truck on a Homs street sparks comments questioning where traffic police are and why the driver is not stopped. Commenters cite 'greed of merchants + negligence of traffic police' as the cause. Some joke about accidents being blamed on roads rather than drivers. The tone is frustrated but assumes enforcement failure rather than systemic change.

How people are reacting

Calls for traffic police to do their job; blame directed at merchant greed and police negligence. One comment sarcastically suggests the truck is carrying the factory itself. Tone is exasperated rather than angry.
